Audiovisual recordings of speech can provide useful information to supplement direct clinical observations. Typical pneumonia is a form of community-acquired pneumonia that tends to have more serious symptoms. Prior to developing generalization activities, the SLP needs to consider the individuals profile. National Stuttering Association. Other strategies for treating cluttering include overemphasizing multisyllabic words and word endings, increasing awareness of when a communication breakdown occurs (e.g., through observation of listener reactions), and increasing self-regulation of rate and clarity of speech. Assessing organization of discourse also can help rule out verbal organization problems that might be mistaken for cluttering (van Zaalen-Opt Hof et al., 2009). However, their disfluencies are not likely to involve prolongations, blocks, physical tension, or secondary behaviors that are more typical for children who stutter (Boscolo et al., 2002).

Referring to other health care professionals when outside support is needed to facilitate treatment goals for interfering behaviors (e.g., anxiety, depression). Assessing bilingual children: Are their disfluencies indicative of stuttering or the by-product of navigating two languages? reports changing conception of stuttering from exclusively negative to having positive features. Consequently, they may speak less to avoid being disfluent, and they may avoid social situations. Children who stutter may demonstrate decreased performance for phonological tasks such as nonword repetition (Wagovich & Anderson, 2010). As fear reduces, physical tension and struggle decrease, fluency is enhanced, and the individual is better able to communicate effectively. Arnold, H. S., Conture, E. G., Key, A. P., & Walden, T.

All approaches should include a plan for generalization and maintenance of skills involved in activities of daily living. facilitates conversations between the individual and their family about the experience of stuttering, the individuals communication expectations, their life goals, and how to holistically support communication (see, e.g., Berquez & Kelman, 2018; Millard et al., 2018; Rocha et al., 2019).

When determining eligibility for speech and language services through the public school system, SLPs need to document the adverse educational impact of the disability using a combination of standardized test scores when available and a portfolio-based assessment (Coleman & Yaruss, 2014; Ribbler, 2006). Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 52(1), 254263. Persons who clutter can experience the same affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions as those with stuttering, including communication avoidance, anxiety, and negative attitudes toward communication (Scaler Scott & St. Louis, 2011).
